Prime Minister Scott Morrison has issued a warning to asylum seekers and people smugglers that their attempts to come to Australia ‘will not succeed’.
The Coalition says its hard-line stance on border security remains, despite medical transfer laws being passed by parliament last week.
In a video message, Mr Morrison says ‘make no mistake, if you attempt to come to Australia illegally by boat, you will not succeed'.
The Prime Minister urged asylum seekers 'do not waste your money or risk your life for nothing’.
Meanwhile, Labor MPs are accusing the government of engaging in a fear-mongering campaign, with Anthony Albanese calling the government's response to the medevac bill passing 'hysterical'.
